The first to know the news was Lijia Village, and then Zhoujia Village, Zhou Lao Er went to Zhoujia Village to spread the news, and Xuemei also went back, and by the way, she brought back the dried bracken and daylily that she had dried at home.

Xuemei is mother to dry whatever she wants, she follows what she wants, the rented house has a large vegetable garden, and she also planted a lot of spinach and radishes, and dried a lot of dried vegetables.

After Zhulan weighed the eldest daughter's house, she counted the money, the eldest girl was idle at home, she was really not less dry, the fungus and mushrooms were taken over five catties, the monkey head was one pound less, the spinach was dried and looked at the large weight was only two catties, the daylily had two catties, the bracken was eight catties more, the dried dandelion was two catties, and the dried radish was more than thirty catties.

If Xuemei didn't remember the child, I was afraid that her mother would subsidize her in the future, and she would be eager to sell the family and sell it.

Early the next morning, the door of Zhulan's house was not opened, and those who knew the news came to guard it early.

Zhou Lao Er is good at calculation, helping to settle accounts and write accounts, Li's mother's family also sold a lot, originally harvested for winter as a vegetable, can save some food, but now they are all exchanged for silver, although they are all mushrooms and dried radish, but the quantity is large, and it is sold for more than six yuan.

There are many male babies in Lijia Village, and every household has a lot of savings, there are no high-priced ones, and there are really a lot of low-priced families, especially dried radish.

Zheng Yang didn't dislike it, he accepted everything that came to be delivered, took it back to keep it for food, or sent it to the barracks.

I didn't harvest it for two days in a row, these dried vegetables took up too much space, and the amount of two days was a lot, in order to prevent moisture and couldn't take the waterway, I could only take the dry road, and I had to cover a shed to avoid snow and water, too much to get it.

If it weren't for the Zheng family's usefulness and money, ordinary businessmen would not have done such a loss-making business, the road expenses were too expensive, and the loss would be even greater if they were damp on the waterway.

Moreover, green vegetables can be eaten in the south in winter, and dried vegetables are not rare in the south, and it is good to eat green vegetables, and dried vegetables are also popular in the north, northwest and northwest frontiers and other places.

When Zheng Yang left, Zhulan took out half of the monkey head and dried dandelion and gave it to Zheng Yang, as for how to talk with Old Man Lu, I knew from Zheng Yang's good mood that the negotiation must have been completed.

Zheng Yang rushed back a few days after he came back, and left in a hurry, this was to return to the northwest before the Chinese New Year.

As for Jiang Shengniang's illness, Zhulan didn't need to ask, from Jiang Sheng's stiff face, she knew that the possibility of pretending was not small, the old couple of the Jiang family felt that they were unwilling to cultivate for so long without a little benefit, and regretted what they had done, the two thoughts alternated, but there was something to do, as long as she didn't bully her daughter, she didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Half a month after Zheng Yang left, the second snow of this year, the sky seemed to be leaking, and it was headless.

Zhulan looked at the Li family's maiden boy outside helping Qingxue, and said worriedly: "Although it is not goose feather snow, it has also been raining for two days and one night, and the snow is so deep at the waist, when will this snow day be a head?" ”

Sun felt uneasy, "It's only been a few years since a good year, and if there is a snow disaster this year, life will be difficult." ”

In the snowstorm in winter, there is no place for the house to collapse, and those who have a lot of surplus food at home are not afraid, but they are afraid that there is not much firewood without surplus food, and many people die every time there is a snow disaster.

And there will be wild things coming down the mountain, so I'm afraid of hungry wolves!

Zhulan thought about Xuemei, "I don't know what happened to the old house, Jiang Sheng is the only one in the family, and it is difficult to clear the snow on the roof." ”

Sun comforted: "Your old house is sturdy and can't collapse, and Jiang Sheng is also a capable person, and with the help of the Zhou family, it will be fine." ”

Zhulan is no stranger to all kinds of disasters in modern times, but modern mechanization, high rescue efficiency, medical and other facilities, not good in ancient times, when there are displaced people, when will it be valued, and the local rescue depends on the county government's officials, dream, who cares about you.

The disaster is serious, and the capital is counted on layer by layer, and the funds for disaster relief are still embezzled, and the rest can be supported by porridge sheds, so don't expect anything else.

Zhulan does not want snow disasters, no matter what disasters in ancient times, there will be no fewer deaths, and the largest proportion of deaths are the elderly, women and children.

The heavy snow fell for another day before it stopped, and that night, Zhulan heard the sound of wolves howling, Lijia Village was close to the mountain forest, and the heavy snow closed the mountains without food, and large wild animals went down the mountain to feed.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren lit candles and stood in the courtyard with their clothes draped, the family dog kept barking, and the sound of wolves howling outside was very close, this was entering the village.

Zhulan's family is not afraid, the courtyard wall is high, the snow outside the courtyard wall has been cleared, the half-human-high snow is gone, and there is no stepping point without fear of wolves jumping up.

After a while, Boss Zhou and Boss Zhou came over with torches, Boss Zhou followed by Li and Zhao, the two held the child, Mingyun pulled Ming Teng and Yushuang, Li sent the child in, and came out with a worried face, worried about his mother's family, but at this time, no one dared to open the door and go out, who knows how many wolves came down.

Zhulan clenched Zhou Shuren's hand, scared, these wolves were not domesticated in the zoo, the ancient wolves were full of wildness, and they really ate people.

Zhou Shuren can still hold on, but his heart is also heavy, no matter how many men there are in Lijia Village, there is always a place that can't be taken care of, he really rushed into the yard and broke the window to enter, the death and injury are certain, and the road to the county is not passable when he is injured on a snowy day, and the infection and fever are also fatal.

Now the doors of the village were closed, and shouts and wolf howls could be faintly heard.

Zhulan said worriedly: "There are many men in Lijia Village, will the wolf make a detour to Zhoujia Village?" ”

A quarter of an hour's journey is not far, Zhoujia Village is not like Lijia Village, which has high walls, and some houses have wooden fences without walls.

Zhulan thanked again that she had built a new fence last year, and the fence was not short, but it was safer.

Zhou Shuren could hear the wolf's scream, a little uncertain, the wolf is a very intelligent animal, "It's useless to worry now, I'll know tomorrow morning." ”

Yang Dayong squatted and smoked, "The animal's intuition is the most accurate, it has only been a few days after the snow closed the mountain, and the wolf went down the mountain to find food, it seems that there must be a snow disaster this year." ”

The current situation is not a snow disaster, but in his memory, what happened when he was a child was a real snow disaster, and many people died.

Zhou Shuren said: "Zheng Yang's luck is really good, according to the distance, he should have passed the capital by now, at least he was not trapped on the road." ”

Zhulan snorted.

Zhou Shuren didn't shift his attention when he saw it, and said to Zhou Lao's boss and Zhou Laoer: "You two are holding the dog, you look at the first half of the night, Chang Lian and Chang Zhirongchuan look at the second half of the night, and the others go back to the main house to rest, and it is safer for the family to stay together." ”

One night, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were sleepless, and when it was dawn, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er led the four dogs out of the door to check.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren waited for the news, and the two came back soon.
